A word from Anton & Michel Restaurant

Anton & Michel, a landmark restaurant in Carmel since 1980 is considered to be Monterey Peninsula's most beautiful and romantic restaurant. An exceptional blend of relaxed old world elegance and modern charm. The distinctive, artistic flair of Continental-California cuisine is guided by Chef Mark… Simpson, who combines traditional fare with lighter, falvorful sauces. The graciousness in this service-intensive establishment, along with a fabulous, award-winning wine list, makes Anton & Michel "...the best dining experience in downtown Carmel".

"This style of dining is not as avalible as it once was. The menu has a French touch but the influence of California cuisine is there also. Each part of the menu was difficult to choose from because the choices all looked too good. And the ones I tasted were excellent. My parents and my grandchildren would all enjoy eating here. Service was constant but not intrusive. Higly recommend this place."

"Outstanding! Yes, it's old school, but therein lies its excellence. It's been years since we've had a proper Caesar Salad, prepared at the table. And this one was just right. It's also been years since we've Crepe Suzette, again prepared at the table, flambe. Our main course was a perfectly prepared rack of lamb.

It was very refreshing to enjoy the more formal service and preparation of a time past. My wife an I had a thoroughly wonderful meal and wonderful evening."

"We celebrated my husband's birthday at this gem of a restaurant close to home. The Tiger Prawns & Diver Scallops Fricassée was superb!. My husband's veal chop was extremely tender and prepared to the doneness that he requested. All of our food was served piping hot with the appropriate accompaniments."

"Chose the restaurant for the desserts they offer. We weren't disappointed. Cherries Jubilee were worth the trip. Salmon arrived with dauce drizzled over the top. My husband's filet was perfect for him. We will return."
